Dragon Clan: Force me to be reborn and slay dragons

Chapter 325 Senior Brother, are you a good person or a bad person?
"What should we do with this car?"

Xia Mi pushed open the car door, and the night wind swirled up dust and noise in her face. She took the helmet, twirled it halfway in her hand, and then her gaze fell on the Maybach that had been ravaged by the two dragons.

The bumper was dented and deformed, with peeling paint, lying on the roadside like a badly wounded wild beast.

"We already called for a tow truck on the way here."

"Oh, okay." Xia Mi put on her helmet, gently straddled the motorcycle, and sat down, maintaining a distance of about a fist's width from Chu Zihang.

"Hey, senior, is this your first time driving a girl home?"

Chu Zihang nodded slightly, as always sparing with his words.

Upon hearing this, the girl in the back seat gently pressed her fingertips against his back, then leaned forward slightly and rested her head on his shoulder, teasingly asking, "If your future girlfriend finds out, won't she be angry?"

In the rearview mirror, Chu Zihang saw the girl's fox-like smile, her eyebrows and eyes curved, and although he couldn't see her lips, he guessed they must be slightly upturned at that moment.

He didn't speak, and Xia Mi just chuckled softly.

The motorcycle engine roared again, and the girl's laughter, like silver bells, mingled in the wind and carried far.

"Senior brother, tell me about tonight's hunt. How did it go?" Xia Mi leaned close to Chu Zihang's ear and asked loudly, her hands supporting her back and her body half-pressed against him.

The sound was somewhat muffled and indistinct through the full-face helmet, but Chu Zihang could still hear it clearly. He raised his voice and recounted the general course of events, but omitted his guess about the unexpected interloper.

After listening, Xia Mi remained silent for a few seconds, then suddenly sighed softly, "Senior brother, is there really such a sincere affection between humans and dragons?"

Her hands, which were tucked in front of her, clenched slightly, like a girl yearning for a beautiful fairy tale, or like grasping at a distant dream:
"The dragons who are willing to work as hard as humans for their older sister, and the older sister who is willing to risk her life to pretend to be prey for her younger sister—their sisterly love is much more real than those melodramatic soap operas in TV dramas."

Listening to her sentiments, Chu Zihang remained noncommittal.

In fact, he was indeed touched when he heard the story of the sisters Shao Nanyin and Shao Nanqin.

Two lonely souls met and sparked a connection, and from then on, they stayed together for a long time, unable to live without each other.

Shao Nanyin is a dragon, and she also has the sorrow of blood. She carries the loneliness accumulated over thousands of years, and wanders in the human world like a lost soul, unable to integrate into it.

Shao Nanqin was the object of her emotional attachment.

Shao Nanyin grew tired of being confined to a human family and restricted by human parents, so she chose the pitiful and helpless Shao Nanqin, who was being punished by standing at the door on a rainy night, as her host, promising to accompany each other forever.

The night wind howled, and the chill seeped slowly through his exposed skin, making Chu Zihang's thoughts exceptionally clear.

He didn't know Xia Mi's true identity, but he had a vague guess in his heart, though he didn't delve into it.

He called earlier to inquire about Xia Mi's situation, partly because he was worried about whether she would encounter danger after being alone, and partly because he wanted to investigate her suspicions and see if she was the mysterious person who rescued Shao Nanyin.

During the phone call, she was still on the side of the road, and he could hear the roar of cars passing by. This slightly dispelled his doubts. When he rushed back, he found that Xia Mi had been waiting there without showing any abnormality, which put his mind at ease for the time being.

Once we get back and ask Lu Mingfei, we can completely dispel our doubts.

With only one problem solved, another awaits him.

Chu Zihang maneuvered his motorcycle through the bustling traffic, pondering whether his relationship with Xia Mi was similar to that of the Shao sisters, drawn together by loneliness.
Shao Nanyin chose Shao Nanqin because she needed a "home," a place where she could temporarily forget the heavy fate of the dragon race.

What about Xia Mi?

Why did she approach him?
Chu Zihang almost instinctively thought of the mark Odin left on his body, but the photos preserved by Shilan Middle School showed that their meeting was earlier, before that unexpected night of torrential rain.

His memory is incomplete, missing too much; he doesn't even know when the two first met face-to-face.

Cheng Shuangfan once said that the bond between Shao Nanyin and Shao Nanqin was built on lies. One pretended to be human, and the other mistakenly believed that the other was a close relative. Once the lies were exposed, this bond would collapse.

Although his judgment was flawed in terms of facts, let's set aside the facts...

That's impossible to discuss. Chu Zihang is a person who presents facts and reason, and he only resorts to physics when he really can't win an argument.

And what about him and Xia Mi?

Do they also harbor an unspeakable secret that, if exposed, would cause their bond to break?

Is it because of this that she sealed away her memories and chose to leave?

"Senior brother, say something!"

The girl's dissatisfied voice rang in his ears. Chu Zihang glanced at the rearview mirror. Xia Mi had already lowered the windshield, and the light reflection made it impossible to see her eyes.

But he had a strange feeling that she seemed to care a lot about the answer to this question.

Can dragons and humans coexist peacefully and depend on each other?

Based on what he had learned and seen during his time at the Kassel College, Chu Zihang, the executive commissioner who had been practicing for ten and a half months, concluded that it was very difficult, almost impossible.

But his experiences in the days following his June birthday told him that nothing is impossible.

Everyone says dragons eat people, but if they hadn't come back early last night, Longma Xun would have almost devoured Old Tang completely.

There's also Erii. Although her bloodline has already left the critical bloodline far behind, transforming her from a hybrid into an evolved species, she still has human blood flowing through her veins.

There were originally no roads in the world, but as more people walk on them, roads are formed.

Tonight's hunt further confirms this.

So he nodded and said, "Yes."

Upon hearing this, Xia Mi, standing behind him, widened her eyes slightly, but couldn't help but let her eyebrows and the corners of her mouth curve into a slight smile.

"I thought you would firmly tell me, senior brother, that humans and dragons are mortal enemies."

Chu Zihang's answer was simple and clear: "There are good people and bad people in the world."

Just like what Shao Nanyin said through Shao Nanqin, there are different kinds of dragons. Some roam thousands of miles and roar across the heavens and earth, while others just want to live a happy life with someone by their side.

Xia Mi was quite satisfied with the answer, so she blinked and asked, "So, senior brother, are you a good person or a bad person?"

Chu Zihang fell silent.

By universal standards, he is undoubtedly a good person who does not indiscriminately kill innocent people and silently protects human safety, while slaying evil pure-blooded dragons and dangerous hybrids.

But from the dragons' perspective, he was a pure executioner, a great enemy of the race.

At this point, we should think about what Lu Mingfei would do.

A second later, he threw the question back at Xia Mi: "What do you think?" Xia Mi didn't expect that Chu Zihang, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, would actually play this kind of stupid trick. She really wanted to grab his face and ask him who had possessed him, and whoever it was, to get off him right away.

But in the end, he just pursed his lips and snorted, "Of course you're a good person, senior brother. You're the most popular student at Shilan Middle School, the future star of Kassel College, and the guardian of the human camp."

Upon hearing this, Chu Zihang pursed his lips, suddenly wanting to laugh, but he held it back.

The two put aside the somewhat heavy topic and chatted casually. Xia Mi seemed unaware of the phrase "Do not interfere with the driver," and Chu Zihang seemed to have forgotten the saying "Improper driving will bring tears to your loved ones' eyes."

The motorcycle sped along and soon returned to the old neighborhood.

It didn't rain today, and many elderly people came out of the neighborhood to get some fresh air. They all cast curious glances at the unfamiliar vehicles and men and women.

Seeing the two heading towards the woods deep in the neighborhood, they scratched their heads and looked at each other, wondering when such a couple had appeared in the neighborhood.

Soon, two middle-aged women remembered that a young man had come looking for someone last month, asking if anyone still lived in that abandoned villa. They guessed that he had found someone.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked enlightened, but soon became puzzled again: was anyone still living in that dilapidated villa?

It seems like there is one, but I can't remember who it is.

So that night, the neighborhood intelligence department's topic of conversation became Chu Zihang and Xia Mi.

After walking through the secluded forest path, Chu Zihang took Xia Mi home.

The girl took off her helmet, letting her silky black hair fall down, a few playful strands sticking to her chubby, fair face: "Senior brother, would you like to come in for a cup of tea?"

Xia Mi's words were just polite; in reality, she didn't have any tea sets at home, and she drank only mineral water.

Chu Zihang refused as she expected, explaining that he had other matters to attend to with the hunting team.

Before leaving, Chu Zihang told Xia Mi to call him if anything happened, and if she couldn't get through, to go find Lu Mingfei.

In fact, Chu Zihang had asked her on the way, whether he should take her directly to the Regent Hotel to find Lu Mingfei and the others, since there were two other girls there and a private room. Xia Mi refused, saying she was shy.

She said she was just a nobody and not worth being targeted by the Dragon Clan, telling Chu Zihang to do his own thing without worry, and that she would run away as fast as she could if trouble came her way.

Therefore, Chu Zihang drove away and returned to the hunting team as he had said.

He did have some questions and wanted to find out more from Shao Nanqin.

Not long after he left, the invisible wind demon that had been following him dissipated, and the Kamaitachi brought back news of his departure. A wisp of smoke drifted out of the old neighborhood and merged into the night, silently disappearing into the distance.

……

As dusk settled, an old bus slowly pulled up at the bus stop.

The moment the car door opened, a wisp of black smoke silently drifted down from the roof, moving through the shadows like a living thing.

It moved quickly along the base of the wall and soon arrived at the roadside trees on the outskirts of a mid-range residential area.

The shadows of the trees swayed, and the branches and leaves were covered by shadows, but if you looked closely, you could find a large shadow.

The shadowy figure cautiously surveyed its surroundings, and after confirming that there were no signs of outsiders approaching, it nodded in satisfaction. The dragon was still hanging safely on the tree, unharmed.

The dark figure leaped up lightly, its toes lightly touching the rough bark of the tree. Like a swallow, it darted up to the branch, picked up the still unconscious Shao Nanyin, and then jumped down.

Without even stirring up a speck of dust upon landing, the dark figure had already led its unconscious prey into the residential area.

Guided by the wind demon weasel, the shadowy figure quickly found an empty house. Looking up at the unsealed balcony on the fourth floor, the figure gripped the brickwork of the exterior wall with its fingers and, like a nimble gecko, climbed up and vaulted inside.

The room was thick with dust, and the air was filled with a musty smell from a lack of ventilation.

The shadowy figure casually tossed the person in his arms onto the old sofa in the living room, raising a cloud of dust. The dilapidated sofa creaked under the weight of the sofa, and Shao Nanyin's pale face, stained with mud, looked particularly fragile in the moonlight.

"Clap--"

The shadowy figure raised his hand and patted Shao Nanyin's face twice: "Hey, wake up, don't sleep."

"..."

The only response was deathly silence. Shao Nanyin's chest barely rose and fell; if it weren't for the faint throbbing in her carotid artery, she would have been indistinguishable from a corpse.

The shadowy figure clicked its tongue, raised its hand and lifted her eyelids. Then, its golden eyes lit up, staring directly into those blank, lifeless eyes, the gold in its eyes flowing like molten lava.

Words of Power: The Realm of Man!
The shadowy figure casually constructed an illusion in Shao Nanyin's mind and wrote it directly into her mind. It would automatically change according to the fear deep in her heart. At the same time, another hand gently pressed on the acupoints around her body, and soon the unconscious Shao Nanyin reacted.

First he frowned, then his pupils dilated dramatically, followed by sweat pouring down his forehead. Finally, he suddenly sat up, gasping for breath like a drowning person being rescued. His large breasts swayed wildly with his violent breathing, making even the air seem to vibrate, leaving onlookers dizzy.

After glancing at her once, twice, and three times, the dark figure disdainfully looked away, staring at the astonished and uncertain Shao Nanyin, and deliberately lowered his voice: "You're very lucky."

Shao Nanyin's previous memory was of being knocked unconscious by Lu Mingfei, but in her unconscious state just now, she suddenly saw herself being captured by Cheng Shuangfan and sent to the secret party for dissection research. The stupid Nanqin also lost everything under the other party's revenge, and was even visited by the underworld who had a grudge against her, wanting her to repay her sister's debt and make her fall into prostitution.

Just as they were forcing Nanqin to wear sexy and revealing clothes to go out and entertain customers, Shao Nanyin finally couldn't help but wake up with a start. All the illusions disappeared, and then she saw a figure entwined with black shadows standing in front of her, with a pair of golden eyes as bright as the sun quietly watching her.

Feeling the aura emanating from the other party, Shao Nanyin felt that her knees might have gone weak again if she hadn't been sitting on the sofa.

But soon she realized something was wrong; this person didn't seem to be the Dragon King.

Although bloodline can still easily crush oneself, the opponent's bloodline level seems to be only in the blurry boundary between the first generation and the second generation.

Shao Nanyin wasn't sure if the person in front of her had used some special means to hide their bloodline, but she remembered what the unnamed Wang had told her before she fainted, instructing her to unconditionally agree to and cooperate with the conditions and actions of the person in front of her.

She then forced herself to sit up and bowed to the dark figure: "My humble name is Shao Nanyin. I have come to greet you. I am grateful for your help. Please do not hesitate to give me any instructions."

The words are blunt, but that's the rule of the dragon race.

Lower-ranking individuals have no choice but to submit to higher-ranking individuals, especially since the other party had saved her life. Even if the person in front of her planned to save her first and then kill her, she would have nothing to say.

The shadowy figure was not surprised and nodded naturally, praising, "You're sensible. I have something for you to do. Once it's done, you won't owe me anything."

Shao Nanyin thought to herself, "As expected," and lowered her head in agreement, waiting for the other party to make a request before reporting back.

Unexpectedly, the man in front of her didn't rush to state his request. Instead, he sat on the coffee table, looking at her intently.

"But before that, tell me about yourself. How did you come to this city, and why did you get involved with that human?"

Shao Nanyin was a little surprised, but she still told the truth: "It was a stormy night..."
